FAITH CAPSULE: Waiting on God is not a waste of time. 

Isaiah 40

Without absolute trust in waiting on God, absolute emerging from waiting is not possible. 
God does not waste a word. 
Have you received and believed in Christ as Lord and Savior through the word documented in the pages of the Bible? Why not take every word with passion? 
God promised in His word, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31) 
God is not a man that He should tell lies and whatever He says He will do is a done deal. 
Remember, the word of God does not return to God void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:1)
Are you lacking in the area of the rest of God?
Avenue to rest of God is in waiting on Him. 
Not waiting on Him is the way to go astray. 
Going astray is rooted in the heart. 
Manifestly, any heart that goes astray will miss His way. 
God is a good God, and to end outside of a good way is not of God. 
Indeed, what is not good is not of God. 
God is a God of time and process. 
His time is not like the time of man; likewise, His process is not the process of man. 
The timing of God is perfect. 
His process is preparation for where He has time for everyone to be.
Waiting on God can be defined as time to remain unmoving or inactive until the manifestation of expectation.
Waiting can be a state of repose until something one expects happens.
Waiting on God is also putting off further activity until later. 
Waiting on God usually entails staying for a short or long time and a definite purpose; that is, for something expected. 
Without absolute trust in waiting on God, there will be no absolute result emerging from waiting on God. 
The Psalmist testifies, “O my God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.” (Psalm 25:2-3) 
Trusting and hoping in God is what energizes waiting on Him. 
Trusting in God does have blessings, and not trusting in Him will also generate curses. 
God spoke in Jeremiah 17:5, “…Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord.” 
Regarding blessing, the same Word of God states in Jeremiah 17:7, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord”. How can you wait on whom you do not trust and hope? 
Having trust in place will enable waiting on Him.

Prayer for today: Ask that the spirit of waiting on God to become your portion.
